"The carriage is not bumpy at all on this road, and the speed is very fast."

"Or live under the nourishment of the feet of the Son of Heaven, how else can you enjoy such a smooth road first? This cement is really good! ”

“…… There are quite a few large families who want to use cement to pave their roads, and it is said that they want to break their heads, and they don't know where to find a way to buy them. ”

“…… I know that it is said that this cement was first used to strengthen the Yellow River embankment, and the emperor said that the lives of the common people were the most important, and then he was persuaded by the officials to apply it to the capital.

People from other places want to use cement, just wait! Unless you spend money on it, hehehehe......"

The people of the capital feel good, and the walls of the capital are also covered with cement, which is more solid.

Many outsiders who came to the capital were like dirt buns, and the common people in the capital couldn't help but raise their heads triumphantly when they saw the appearance of the outsiders' dirt buns.

The common people think that cement is a good thing, but there are many smart people, and they are worried that they will not have the opportunity to pat the emperor's ass.

Isn't this a road that is bought to pave the way for the house? Do good deeds?

The household officials took action, and the red-sleeved marquis recruited a job for the household officials.

The cement sales office is set at the household department, pay the deposit first, and wait in line to receive the cement after paying the deposit.

And the silver sold goes directly to the state treasury, which is also a means of levying on the state treasury.

Ever since this way of buying cement appeared, the doorsteps of the households have been trampled on bald skins and worn down in a large piece.

The petty officials of the household department were stunned, working overtime for many hours more than the officials of other departments, and even the time for rest was occupied.

'Dare not speak' is the characteristic of these petty officials.

How shrewd is the red-sleeved marquis, he wants the people under his command to work well, not perfunctory. It is necessary to give enough motivation and draw enough pie.

Therefore, the red-sleeved marquis inadvertently revealed the news: "Today, the saint is a person who "does not rub sand in his eyes," and he is about to take the Enke exam, and a large number of protégés of the Son of Heaven will enter the officialdom at that time.

As the first batch of protégés of the Son of Heaven, he was born noble, and if he could work more, he would come out as soon as possible, and if he couldn't work more, he would be eliminated! ”

The words of the red-sleeved marquis were like a slap in the face, so that none of these small officials in the household department dared to talk nonsense.

Because everyone knows that with the implementation of the imperial examination system, it will become more and more difficult to become an official in the future.

In order not to be replaced, it must be done seriously.

There was no anger on the part of these petty officials, because they had already begun to resign themselves to their fate.

When the red-sleeved marquis was rewarding these petty officials with gold and silver for working overtime, the petty officials were very happy and worked harder.

This is the technique used by the Red Sleeves, and if they impress these petty officials with money at the beginning, they may take it for granted that they should give money.

Household officials are toiling for the state treasury, and there is an endless stream of merchants who make cement every day, as well as some large families.

No matter how high the price of cement is, these rich people focus on one: not the best, just the most expensive, just the rarest things!

Moreover, cement has been listed by Emperor Wude as something that cannot be sold privately, similar to salt, iron and coal.

So the more things are controlled, the more many people want to get them.

Emperor Wude knows the secret of doing business, although this trick is old, but one trick is eaten all over the world.

The news of the cement spread caused a lot of businessmen to pour into the capital.

There are countless rumors of one, two, two, three, and three, and even outside the border has spread the news.

Even the Huns knew that as long as the cement was spread out, the walls outside the border were paved with cement, and the stability of the city walls would be higher.

In the future, fighting the Xiongnu will be like beating Sun Tzu, and the Xiongnu are trying to capture the city wall, which is almost impossible!

The Xiongnu said: No! There must never be such a good thing, unless we are shown it.

Border Xiao Jiajun: Bah, what a shame!

In the land of Kyushu in the country, since the new emperor ascended the throne, after the Chinese New Year, the common people have planted the allocated land as they wish.

Planting your own land, no matter how hard and tired you are, you feel that it is worth it.

"Our family only got half an acre of potato seeds this time, and it is said that the imperial court will collect these seeds and distribute them again."

"My family got three points of land, but as long as I can have potatoes, it is said that in three years at most, the price of potatoes will not be so high."

"Everyone be careful, it is said that there are foreign enemies who want potato seeds, so we have to cover ......."

"I'll be able to eat enough this year~"

The common people farm the land, even if they are tired and hard, they feel willing. Because they know that part of the land they have planted belongs to them.

When the imperial court explained the importance of potato seeds, many ordinary people, although they did not understand the big truth, knew that this kind of thing, once discovered, would harm the entire clan.

I have to say that when we calculate that seventy percent of this year's grain can be kept for ourselves, the common people will find that the saint is definitely a good person today!

In the past, tenant farmers would be charged 50 percent of their grain by the landlords, and some landlords who were particularly skinning would sometimes receive 60 percent of their grain!

The remaining forty percent of the grain can't be eaten in their mouths, and they have to pay taxes, and they farm every year, and they can't eat enough food every year, which is the status quo of the common people.

Plant a grain of millet in spring, harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn, there is no idle field in the four seas, and the farmer is still starving to death. All kinds of taxes have seriously oppressed the survival of the common people! ’

There are some things that cannot be pondered in detail, and when the world is stable, the common people in the world feel that they have really met a very good emperor.

The crown prince Yuan Jiexi chose for several months, and finally chose the princess he was satisfied with, not the daughter of a family, but the daughter of Fang Daru.

In troubled times, Fang Daru sheltered the people of a city, Fang Daru's daughter was only handsome, but a woman with ideas, proficient in poetry and books, and at the same time a good hand at managing family affairs.

And in the troubled times, she helped her father manage the disaster victims, and she was also a very powerful woman.

The princess felt that this kind of woman was what she wanted, and the princess could at least go hand in hand with her and not lag behind.

And she is not the queen of the family, but she has the ability of the daughter of the family, and she is definitely the best choice.

It was only after getting to know a lot of women that the prince Yuan Jiexi decided on the candidate for the crown princess, and finally, after investigation, decided to marry Fang Daru's daughter.

In Jizhou, the capital city of Zhuozhou, Fang Daru did not serve in the court, and he never expected that the girl in his family would be favored by the prince.

Fang Mansion, Fang Daru received a gift from the East Palace, and between the words, it meant that he wanted to marry his own daughter.

"Xiujing, why don't your father refuse you?"

Fang Daru felt that marrying into the palace was not a good thing, and he was glad that the emperor was still reasonable, and did not come up to make a straightforward decree.

If he directly issued a holy decree, to be honest, Fang Daru would not allow the entire clan to follow him and cut off his head.

Fang Xiujing looked at the account book in her hand and looked very calm: "It's better to agree, it's all other people's wives, why can't I become the mother of a country in the future." ”

Fang Daru was silent, it was the first time he knew that his daughter, who was very calm, still had such great ambitions.

Chapter 176

The crown princess turned out to be Fang Xiujing, the daughter of Fang Daru of Jizhou, and as soon as the news came out, it quickly spread to the world.

A person who can be called a great Confucian must be a person of great knowledge and a person of reading.

The fact that the crown prince married the crown princess is the daughter of a scholar is a very encouraging thing for all scholars in the world.

Especially when Emperor Wude did not pay attention to martial virtues, he acted recklessly and was good to the peasants who farmed the land, after all, the emperors of all dynasties had a policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business.

Don't look at the common people as having the most miserable life, in fact, they still look down on merchants and craftsmen in their face.

Emperor Wude unprecedentedly promoted craftsmen and increased the value of craftsmen, and the craftsmen had a bright future, that is, to become officials of the Ministry of Industry.

In the past, there was no such good thing, the craftsmen were lowly people, not only had to pay taxes, but also all kinds of forced labor, and their lives were involuntarily, far more difficult than the common people.

The imperial examination has already stipulated, as long as there is a capable person, as long as a person is intelligent, there is a certain chance that he will be able to get ahead in the imperial examination, and it can be said that he has given the low-level people a chance to forge ahead.

The people at the bottom have a day to get ahead, and the craftsmen have a day to come out, which leads to the fact that the upper-class scholars, who used to have a lot of advantages, become very nervous.

Because more and more people are competing with them for the opportunity to become human beings.

The crown princess that the crown prince is about to marry is a famous family, and it is to make many upper classes feel that as long as they endure Emperor Wude's 'wanton behavior,' that is, for so many decades.

When the crown prince ascends the throne, everything will get better and better.

When the time comes, everyone will be able to 'live a good life,' and many upper-class families have this kind of mentality, after all, they are really incapable of letting them fight hard now.

Whoever let Emperor Wude have a heavy army in his hands, and all the troops in the world will be in his hands, he will go wherever he wants, and it is great that everyone has soldiers in their hands.

"Let's stay up slowly, until the crown prince ascends the throne, everything will be fine, don't think about anything else."

More than one family thinks this way, and many families all think this way, and since they can't resist, they should adapt as soon as possible.

If we want to say that those who know the times are handsome, there are quite a few upper-class forces, and they really look at the trend and can see some things.

Otherwise, people would not survive until the establishment of the new dynasty, and sometimes dogs are not a bad thing, at least they are still alive.

It was a great joy for the crown prince to marry the crown princess, and this matter neutralized some of Emperor Wude's practices, causing some families to feel that they could tolerate it, so why not endure it any longer.

Leave a line in everything, and see you in the future.

Some people saw the crown prince and married the crown princess as if they were showing weakness, but no one knew what the real situation was.

In the imperial court, the red-sleeved marquis controlled the household department, and at the same time maintained the internal affairs office in the palace, and was the right-hand man of Emperor Wude.

It may also be because the red-sleeved marquis is a woman and does not plan to get married, so Emperor Wude can use it boldly and with confidence, it is a very useful chess piece.

There is also a famous Marquis Xiao Tingting, because she is still advocating justice.

In the past, some bandits and bandits owned by various localities were in collusion with local landlords and local officials.

Anyway, it is the local leaders of the maintenance side, these local bandits and bandits, they are some people who report the news, and some people are raising them behind their backs, and their small lives are quite nourishing.

Xiao Tingting is not used to it, and wherever she goes, bandits or corrupt officials will be taken down as long as they do bad things.

Some even went so far as to cut off the heads of those who should be beheaded, and those who should be put in prison were put into prison, and part of the wealth of the scourge was put into the treasury and part of it was returned to the people.

'Female Devil' is Xiao Tingting's nickname, and at the beginning, she went south and north to destroy many entrenched forces.

Later, she thought it was so fun, that it could do justice, and that it could move around.

The key is that the emperor trusts him very much, and he has the right to cut first and then play.

"The female devil Xiao Tingting, the dog of the corrupt official and the corrupt official's family will have to be slapped twice when they touch the female devil."

Xiao Tingting's reputation is so stinky, everywhere she goes, it can be said that she took away the bloody rain, and left a bold statement: "This marquis is unexpected, maybe he will come back to check the situation when he comes, and the officials who are not afraid of death will continue to be corrupt!" ”

Her notoriety is all paved with blood, and no one dares to challenge her bottom line.

She is called a female demon by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but her reputation among the common people is that of the old man of the blue sky!
